The 2020 census will profoundly impact the future of our democracy and the health of our communities. Ensuring a complete count is a moral necessity. We must work together to ensure that the census promotes equality, not exclusion.
We are encouraging Oklahoma's congregations to participate in a Census Sabbath,
the weekend of March 27-29
. Take some time during your weekend worship to lift up the Census and its importance to our communities.
OCC can send you a packet of resources, from liturgy to a bulletin insert, to help you promote the Census,
Hear from Rev. Fleck and other Oklahoma faith leaders on why the Census is so important for our communities, and please
share this video
on your social media to spread the word!
